I'm Jess | Cat Sitting in Buffalo, NY

Hi everyone! My name is Jess and I've been an avid animal lover my entire life. I currently have 4 rescued cats of my own, as well as 2 rescue dogs and a mess of lizards (me and my fiance rescue & breed reptiles!) I know when I go out of town, my biggest stress is finding someone I trust to care for my little zoo... That's why I want to help others enjoy their time away from home without the stress of worrying about their kitties! I will treat your kitties with all of the love and care I give my own. I am patient, gentle, and understanding with every cat I meet and want to make sure they are comfortable and not overwhelmed. If you have a scared or nervous kitty, I will make sure to be calm and patient with them to make sure they feel comfortable during my visit. I am currently a volunteer at the SPCA feeding the baby birds in the Wildlife department so being delicate is my sp...

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Providing the peace and mind to the cat parents. I know I've always struggled to leave my cats so knowing I can give that relief to someone else is invaluable. And spending time with the kitties is a huge bonus of course!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite is with a client who has 5 cats and makes me feel less like a crazy cat lady and more like a slightly unhinged one 😂 I was able to win all 5 of them over my first day visiting them (even the shy ones that don't come out for strangers!) and ever since, I actually look forward to seeing them and playing with them so much.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have 4 - Jemma, Moose, Casper, and Frodo. They are all best friends!

Jess has sat for us many times now and always does a fantastic job! She definitely put our minds at ease while we were on an international vacation and away from them for longer than we've ever been. It also helps that our cat absolutely loves her!

I've booked with Jess multiple times. She went above and beyond this last time handling some unexpected, last minute issues. My kitty and I are so thankful! :D

We just finished our second booking with Jess and once again, she went above and beyond in all ways. I truly cannot picture a better cat sitter. She shows such love for our 5 cats and even our normally shy cats absolutely love her. She also sends the best video and picture updates which make being away from our cats easier knowing they are in such great hands. We will continue to use Jess for any and all future trips as she is the best of the best!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Buffalo cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $29.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in your sitter before you leave.

Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
